| - Came here after Yelping around the area for dumplings, as Old Neighbour Restaurant had apparently closed down and left us hungry food. Yelp did not disappoint! This place has their beef noodle brisket advertisements on the walls and all over the menu marked as it's number one seller. Literally, everyone we saw walk in ordered this special dish. So, of course, my friend and I ordered two bowls, along with a great serving of dumplings.
Neither of us eat very much, so ordering one bowl and splitting it along with the dumplings would have rendered us incredibly full. However, the beef was so perfect and tender, the bok choy seeped in delicious broth, and the noodles incredibly thick and flavourful, that neither of us regretted finishing our entire meal. Each of us had one or two dumplings while they were steaming hot and realized they tasted better when stabbed a little and then dunked in the soup broth so that they could soak up a little beef flavour. We did have to get a to-go container for the dumplings, however, but it was a great deal for the whole meal and we had it as a midnight snack later on, and they were still delicious.
Service was pretty attentive as well, which was a little surprising for an Asian restaurant (I'm used to staff having to be waved down constantly), and we did have to wave down a waitress for the bill, but the restaurant wasn't super busy at the time and she got it to us right away.
tl;dr: if you're in the area, definitely come around for the beef brisket and dumplings. I don't live nearby, but I would definitely come back just for the amazing stew.
